A friend here in Austin crossed his two awarded Cattleya (aclandiae ‘Stephen’ x nobilior ‘Michael’ which both received AM/AOS) and created a new cross, which he registered as C. Magairlin. We (Alamo Judging Center) awarded this flower with an AM/AOS today. Absolutely stunning flower that is hard as plastic and 3cm larger than either parent.

He gave me a flask a few years back, so I'm pretty excited to see mine bloom!
